So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth! [ Revelation 3:16 ]
The words of today’s verse of scripture were spoken to one of the seven churches; the church in Sardis. But the reality of that truth meets today’s needs. The old lady, “Mrs. Clara Williams” in the famous “War Room” movie said that nobody drinks their coffee lukewarm. It is either hot or cold. In the book of Daniel, a vision is seen of a monstrous statue with toes made of iron and clay—symbolic of weakness and disunity. The mixture of iron and clay could not hold firmly. It is a sign of being “lukewarm”, not just clay or just iron but both. The Believer’s fire is holiness. Holiness is a walk with God while righteousness is a gift. Enoch walked with God—he lived in holiness. Holiness will set us apart from all else unto God himself. Without faith, it is impossible to please God but without holiness it is impossible to see or walk with God. And yes, it is very possible to please someone and not see them. This is why we need to decide what the state of our spiritual life would be. We need to carry the right spiritual atmospheric temperature around us. Our spiritual life should be red hot! The scripture in the book of Revelation suggests that, the cold believers and the hot believers have their places in eternity (redemption or condemnation) but the lukewarm has no place. This also means that our significance hinges on the state of our spiritual life. Do we want to be recognized in heaven’s hall of fame? Then we need that walk of fire
Prayer_Bead: Father in heaven, thank you for amplifying the demand of heaven in me. I pray for grace to be hot and alive unto you. Thank you for the crafting of holiness in my heart so that I hate being lukewarm. Amen.
